The Bronx where Italians gathered in New York in the 1960s. Gang boss Sini (Chazz Palminteri) is a well-known local gang figure. At the scene of a murder, nine-year-old Annu (Francis Capra) witnesses it all. For the sake of the neighborhood's reputation, Annu refuses to reveal that the murderer is Xinni, which prompts the two to develop a year-long friendship like a father and son. However, Annu's father, Rowlandson (Robert De Niro), disapproved of this, lest his son be led astray. Eight years later, seventeen-year-old Annu (Lillo Brancato) has grown into a handsome teenager. Xinni's power is gradually expanding, Annu worships Xinni more and more, and yearns for the life of the gang. The honest and upright Rowlandson grew increasingly worried about his son.
The film debut "A Bronx Story" directed by Oscar winner Robert De Niro was nominated for the Golden Lion Award at the 50th Venice International Film Festival in 1993.
